Pay parking soon in Vasco town

Vasco: The

Mormugao Municipal Council

(MMC) has decided to start pay parking in Vasco town, a long pending demand of the councillors. MMC chairperson Damodar Kaskar assured that he will meet officials and plan the system in the town to streamline parking.

The decision was taken at a special meeting of the council held recently.

Councillor Vinod Palyekar said, “People park their vehicles anywhere they want and occupy the space sometimes for days unnecessarily. This is seen more in rental vehicles. The owners park their cars in the town and pick them up days later only when they have clients. This unnecessarily crowds the city and devoids others of using the parking lots,” he said, adding, “More than generating revenue, maintaining discipline is important in the town.”

During the meeting, councillor Shami Salkar raised the issue of flaws in the restoration of the municipal building. Salkar said, “The municipal building is a heritage property and so it can be restored and not renovated. One cannot use any material in the work, there are certain guidelines to be followed. The municipality has overlooked all this.” Replying to this, Kaskar said that he will call upon GSUDA and other officials to discuss the work and to ask them to take corrective measures.
